Aero-type and other similar auxiliary handlebars are prohibited; this includes tri-bikes with otherwise unremovable aerobars. Only bikes equipped with drop bars or flat bars will be allowed to ride in the event. This is for the safety of all riders.

Do you allow refunds?

The DC Ranch Community Council has a strict no refund policy. The Tour de Scottsdale is a rain or shine event.

Transfer Policy: The DC Ranch Community Council offers a transfer policy for events. You are able to withdraw your registration and receive a credit for your entry, which you can then use for next year’s Tour de Scottsdale event. We know things happen that prevent you from being able to participate, it’s just life, so we want to accommodate you when issues arise that prevent you from riding when you have already registered. Registrations cannot be transferred to another rider.

Any athlete can transfer their registration to next years event up to October 1, 2019.

The athlete will receive an entry credit.

The credit will be valid for the same event the following year.

Registration can only be rolled over once.

To Transfer your registration, please email the Tour de Scottsdale before October 1, 2019.

Switching rides/distances policy:Sometimes training doesn’t go as planned or you might not feel up to completing the original distance you registered for. If you find yourself in this situation, there are a few options;

If you would like to upgrade from the 30-mile to 70-mile ride, you will do this at packet pick up. Please retrieve you timing chip and take to the registration table and request to changing distances. A race official will switch your timing chip and you will pay the difference in pricing. We will honor what the 70 mile ride pricing tier was from your original registration date — not day of registration price.

If you would like to drop from the 70-mile to-30 mile ride, please email the Tour de Scottsdale and request to drop distances. We cannot offer a refund in price differences, however your additional funds will be used as a donation to our beneficiary, McDowell Sonoran Conservancy.

Why do we have strict policies? Almost every event company in the country has a similar policy for a reason. When an athlete registers, the event company begins preparing for your experience. Whether it’s hiring police, security, buying t-shirts, ordering food, etc. we incur expenses immediately, even if you are unable to participate, we start preparing for your arrival. Thank you for your understanding!
